I'm posting this inquiry on behalf of a friend. She's a home care worker, and the job gets very stressful sometimes.

She'd like recommendations for a tea whose ingredients will help her naturally de-stress. (If it's tasty, obviously, bonus points )

I'm thinking (1) no caffeine, and (2) valerian might be nice ... but aside from this, I'm drawing a blank. My own experience with tisanes is limited, and I'm not sure whether simply suggesting a "bedtime tea" would be appropriate.

My wife and I have been using a really nice Egyptian chamomile this last week. I steep a small pot about 30 minutes before scheduled bedtime. It has seemed to help me get to sleep quicker and deeper. Anyway, I really like this particular herbal tea and will be keeping it around.
